I hop down car and with a huge grin on my face when I see the skyscraper standing in it's huge form with Stark Holdings Incorporations written in Italic letters on the top. I'm going to be working here, and I couldn't be more glad. I enter a see a blonde woman with her hair in a bun sitting at the reception.

"Hello Goodafternoon" I greet her as she raises her lens covered eye to peak at where the voice came from.

She gives me a warm smile "Hi how may I help you?"

"My name is Theodetia and I'm suppose to be taking place of Mr. Starks PA in the afternoon schedule"

A look of recognition crosses her face "Top floor, turn right, please use the elevator on your left"

"Thank you" I say with a smile

"Welcome dear"

I walk towards the elevator and make my way towards the stairs. I make my way towards the brown oak doors and knock on the door. A gruff 'come in' sounds at the other side and I push the door open

"Detia, you're on time. I know I didn't make a mistake" he says in a smooth voice not once breaking eye contact with his MacBook.

"Goodafternoon Sir, glad I was able to make it on time"

"Do away with the pleasantries sugar and make yourself useful" he says, motioning towards a stack of papers

"What am I suppose to do with these?" I ask him as I grasp the papers

"You'll have to arrange them in their various categories. Also appoint my meetings, cancel them when I don't have the time, check my emails, take notes during meetings and what not" he shrugs

"Then I'll get to work" I say and make my way to the door

"Oh and sugar, your office is right opposite mine" he says just when my hand twists the handle. I nod and make my way to my office.
I enter and take in the beauty, a theme of red and white strips on the walls, a MacBook, pens, printer, a refrigerator, and 45 inches t.v. and a beautiful view of the city, but not more beautiful than Jace's.

At 5:00 PM I'm almost done with everything when I receive a call from an event organiser

"Hello may I speak to Mr. Stark's PA please?"

"Speaking"

"I wanted to inform you that everything is set for the event on Saturday"

"I'll be sure to let Mr. Stark know" I hung up and make my way to his office

"Here's everything you asked for. An event organiser called to inform you that everything is set for the event on Saturday" I say with furrowed eyebrows. He didn't tell me anything about that

You really don't expect him to tell you everything

"About that, would you like to go with me?" He asks

"Of course" I agree

"It's getting late, come on, I'll drop you off" he says grabbing his things

"That's not necessary, I brought my car" I tell him

"Let's go then" he says and we walk out

"I'll see you tomorrow sugar" he says and pecks my forehead and leaves

I take a seat in my car and drive off.

"I hope my brother it's not tiring you out" Annabel says once I emerge from the door

"Hello to you too and please, that came out wrong" I say and tingle at the thought. I was suppose to shudder or cringe maybe, not tingle at the thought of it

"Oh you nasty kid. I meant I hope he is not bothering you with too much work"

"Now you're talking, and I'm not a nasty kid, just telling you what I heard, or how I heard it. And not he's not, nothing I can't handle" I say and head for the shower

"Hello mammo"

"Hello Coqui" I smile at the name. I call her mammo and she calls Coqui, making me know how much I miss my mother

"How's life going Coqui?"

"Everything is fine mammo, I actually have a job now, not that I need the money, just to do something useful, and I miss you so much. So do I miss dad" I say, tearing up at the thought of my dad

"I miss you too my Coqui. And I'm glad you making use of your time, also your dad is always around, you can visit him anytime, Paris seems far but it isn't too far"

"Thanks mammo, just what I wanted to hear. In case my brother calls tell him I said I love him"

"We also love you Coqui. Visit soon"

"Will do mammo"

It's good talking to a mother
